In December 2009 I was recovering from an illness that I am sure was symptomatic of stress and imbalance in my life especially through my job as a Public Servant. I decided to get myself a life coach and see if I could make some changes. In just 6 sessions with Paul Bailey I had enrolled with the The Coaching Academy for 3 Coaching qualifications and a practitioners course in NLP; made changes to my work schedule to get more work life (and now study) balance; improved my relationships with my partner and son and landed a substantial contract for external work that I am sure came from the confidence Paul has helped me find in myself.

I am now on the road to becoming a coach myself with a website, business cards and my first coachee with 5 more in the wings! I will be forever grateful to Paul who asked the right questions, created the right environment of trust and responsibility to enable me to find the right answers and change my life.

Fantastic coaching with paul. he makes you think for yourself rather then tell you how to do it. which is great as it makes you thin k for yourself. i struggled at first with goals and now i can do goals and i always remember to ask myself “how will i do it”.

Paul is a fantastic coach

Thank you

Right from the free introduction session I got the impression that Paul is a very professional coach, has a friendly personality and is someone that I would feel comfortable with. Paul has very efficiently helped me making those decisions that I had been running away from before I started with coaching sessions. The answers to your questions are usually not far away, but Paul is very efficient in helping you to find them as well as to come up with achievable actions to make sure that the coaching sessions will produce concrete and satisfactory results.

Due to my sessions with Paul I now am much more happy in my professional life as well as his coaching has definitely contributed in me realizing one of my dreams which is to travel the world for a while!

Working with Paul made me realise that the answers were already there, I just had to find them.

I wasn’t an easy person to coach at this point in my life. I said to Paul several times that I was behaving like a stubborn donkey, who didn’t want to move forward, although I knew I needed to. Paul didn’t let me get away with that behaviour, though it must have seemed pretty challenging at times with my inertia.

I had thought that as we had both worked in the IT industry we would somehow work better together than with people from different backgrounds – but I actually found something better; he is very neutral about this.

Sessions with Paul were a ray of sunshine during a difficult period of my life. I always felt great when I got off the phone.

Paul had a way of helping me give myself advice, if that makes any sense!

I would absolutely recommend coaching with Paul to a friend.

Paul led the conversation and I ended up advising myself, which was for me more powerful.

I have taken these action points and made some improvements in my life already. Now I’m not in a rut!

Paul greatly helped me realise that what I needed was not necessarily more time to study but to take more time to relax, just in simple ways, and still create time for productive work instead of letting the thoughts of all to be done infringe my ‘relax’ time….

Paul also helped me through a stressful time at work and helped me let go of my anger and work at building better company relations.

It was a pleasure talking with Paul, his life coaching technique was excellent and I have no doubt that he will be a great asset to the coaching community.

I’d like to say for the record, Paul, that I found the experience of being coached by you wholly uplifting and insightful. I was able to address challenges from a fresh perspective and with more energy than ever before. You helped me structure my efforts and measure the results, and most importantly, helped me to believe in myself a little more.”

I am now 7 months into my new career as a Community Fundraising Manager ….
It’s been a great experience so far, knowing that every effort, and every £ raised goes towards a great cause. Promotion may be on the horizon too, but we’ll have to see.

Thanks for your help in getting there, or enabling me to get there on my own.
